DBm G

G
Who would have thought
A
That you could hurt me
Em
The way you´ve done it?
G A
So deliberate, so determined
Em
And since you have been gone
A
I bite my nails for days and hours
Em A
And question my own questions on and on
F#m Bm F#m Bm
So tell me now, tell me now
G
Why you´re so far away
A
When I´m still so close
CHORUS:
D F#m
You don´t even know the meaning of the words "I´m sorry"
G
You said you would love me until you die
Bm A
And as far as I know you´re still alive, baby
D F#m
You don´t even know the meaning of the words "I´m sorry"
Em G D
I´m starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman´s heart
VERSE:
DBm

G A
I tried so hard to be attentive
Em
To all you wanted
A
Always supportive, always patient
Em
What did I do wrong?
A
I´m wondering for days and hours
Em A
It´s here, it isn´t here where you belong
F#m Bm F#m Bm
Anyhow, anyhow
G
I wish you both all the best
A
I hope you get along

You said you would love me until you die
Bm A
And as far as I know you´re still alive, baby

I´m starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman´s heart
